BMW Classic sheetmetal?

[universalb50]

Are the BMW Classic fenders and gastanks made using the original factory tooling that had been placed in storage over the years? If I purchase, for example, a R51/3 front fender, is it made using the original stamping equipment from the 1951-54 era?

That's about what I thought. The sheetmetal I have purchased is so perfect that it just could not be a reproduction! Some of the parts I've received from Mobile Tradition (Classic Tradition?, or whatever it's called nowdays) actually seems better than OEM.
